On June 14th I met with the doctor and began the journey of testing and evaluations. This coming Wednesday I will (hopefully) have my meeting to review my sleep study results and receive my final green light of clearance!

I am praying all goes well and that Amerihealth Insurance doesn't deny me after all these months of testing and anticipation.

I think a little puree turkey will do just fine this year for Thanksgiving… here's to crossed fingers for a November banding!!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Nov 2nd for me! I'm in week 2 of pre op. I have lost 14 lbs from pre op and can't wait till Friday. It's been hard but I have an awesome support system.

I'm early November and can't wait to get the show on the road! I have to get the routine pre open testing' date=' and I'm good to go! (Lord willing!) I am getting excited because it has been quite the journey to get to this point. I am already cutting back and excercising. I'm ready for this lifestyle change![/quote']

Anyone else a Nov 7th band date? I am just waiting for final insurance clearance. I work at the hospital where my surgery will be (in the preop area) so I asked if I could start the diet in hopes for that date. My insurance usually precerts quick, as several employees at the hospital have had it done. Have been on the diet one week and lost 16 pounds! I am convinced that was mostly fluid. This week (week 2) my body will he going into that fat storage, and it aint gonna want to give it up easily! Because of the low carbs in the shakes, I have no appetite. I have everything else done so just waiting for insurance. I am so excited! I have been reading thos forum for some time now and have really learned alot. You all are a wonderful source of information and support!
